I came across this place by accident while shopping at Daiso, and I'm so glad I did! I'm really happy I discovered this restaurant. My server, Giselle A., was awesome she was incredibly friendly and provided excellent customer service. She made my first visit feel very welcoming and helped me decide what to order. Her recommendation did not disappoint at all! I should have taken a picture because the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the combo platter in a small size, and even the small portion was huge, which was an awesome surprise. I definitely left with a very happy and full stomach. I will absolutely be coming back in the future and highly recommend this place to anyone craving delicious Mediterranean food! read more

I love Mediterranean food and was indecisive about what to have for lunch so I chose this place. I placed my order online and it was very easy. I was craving a chicken kabob wrap and the price didn't seem bad at 8.99; however, it was rather small (but tasty). It did not come with a side so I ordered a large fry which was pricey at 4.99 (but also tasty, and krinkle cut). Located in a small strip mall, the dining area was big and the restaurant was very clean. There was enough parking at the time I picked up my lunch (early) but I reckon it gets packed during peak times. The employee was very nice and efficient. I'll probably be back again but not order the same thing this time around. read more

Big thumbs up for our first visit to Mama's Kabab! Our family group of five readily found a clean table on a Saturday afternoon. The staff was patient and friendly. They kindly lowered the music volume for the senior citizens in our group. The counter also had takeout menus for us to read at the table. Most of us ordered platters (lamb kababs, chicken kabab, and kafta kabab). My aunt ordered lentil soup. Everyone enjoyed their food. The kafta was tender, juicy, and nicely spiced. My mom enjoyed her lamb and ate almost the entire meal in one sitting. (Normally she has a small appetite.) Perhaps because we had to remind the staff of our coffee order, they gave us baklava at the end. Although it was counter service with a fast casual vibe, everything was served on pretty golden plates with real flatware. The menu said that the platters came with a pickle, but in fact each came with a small side salad, so we didn't have to order the extra Mediterranean salads. It was a lot of food for a reasonable price, and we took home the leftovers. There were some small glitches. If you want water, they don't offer tap water but sell bottled water. They didn't offer milk or creamer with the coffee. The bathroom had a door lock plus a chain lock, and you had to remember to unlock the door lock (as directed on the sign) for the next patron. And they left the free wifi sticker on the door from the previous tenant, which was misleading. Overall, we had a really nice family meal at an unassuming strip mall spot. I would definitely consider returning next time I'm in the area. read more

I was looking forward to a healthy meal but unfortunately everything was too salty. The grape leaves, fries, and beef kabob were all heavily seasoned with salt, making it difficult to enjoy the food. The beef kabob was also very chewy. The hummus lacked flavor and the salad wasn't what I expected, consisting mostly of iceberg lettuce. The chicken was tasty and ended up being the only item I liked. The customer service was good, the person that took our order was friendly. The restaurant was also pretty empty during our visit. I came in expecting a fresh, healthy meal, but the excessive salt and disappointing flavors made this a letdown... read more

I asked.. google: cheapest Middle Eastern food in Anaheim area! So .. stopped here for late lunch. Rather than go for a 14-17 dollar combo plate, I went for beef Schwarma bowl with rice: only 8.95. The baklava on display looked good for only 2.95. Sooo? Yes food is good, I would say very good for price, not cheap as in quality. Very clean, I will be back for other dishes. read more

My son and I had such a great experience at Mama's Kabab in Stanton. We both ordered the beef gyro wrap and it was absolutely delicious...perfectly seasoned, fresh, and packed with flavor. It comes on a cute wooden block with picked turnips, pickles, peppers and sauce. What made the visit even better was the excellent service from Adel and Rafael. They were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right. Definitely coming back again and I highly recommend if you're craving a great gyro and top-notch service! read more

I was so hopeful I would love Mama's Kitchen. Unfortunately, I left so disappointed. I recognize they have a decent average Yelp rating. I have a hunch, though, this is due to either its previous ownership or the fact many of those rating the restaurant have a limited familiarity of Mediterranean cuisine. We walked-up at lunchtime on a Saturday. Granted, not necessarily the busiest day/time for a restaurant, but the place was absolutely empty. This caused some hesitation, but we took a chance. The person at the counter was friendly, but clearly had a limited knowledge of the cuisine. The restaurant's atmosphere was nice so, again, decided to give the place a whirl. We ordered Kafta plates. Large plates of food soon arrived, but it was immediately apparent the food was not freshly prepared. Both the meat and the rice had that prepared-much-earlier look and taste. Had the meat been freshly grilled, maybe my opinion would have been better but, as-is, a subpar experience. I hope Mama's Kebab steps-up its game. Quantity and pricing are important but, for those of us familiar with Mediterranean cuisine, quality and taste is what's most important. read more

Whoa - a great find in a little strip mall. Big servings, big flavor and big smiles all around. Come hungry if you order a combo. :) I got the combo and the better half got the wrap with beef shawarma. Good stuff and we couldn't finish it all. Friendly vibe - totally hit the spot. Grilled proteins, sauces and hummus. Totally recommended. read more

Great food and great space. Ordered three wraps and the pita bread arayes to go; great grab and go lunch meal. The wraps (chicken and falafel) are great in size and garlic sauce is delicious. Pita arayes was good for having it my first time, a little greasy but still good. Service was excellent over the phone and while waiting for my meal for pickup. read more

Stopped by and picked up a family meal for dinner. This place is under new ownership and they have remodeled inside with a new store sign on the outside! Loved everything about my meal and my family enjoyed it as well! Everything was fresh, tasty and the quality of meats was 10/10! Very tender and juicy and the kafta was my fave and the chicken was my husband's fave! We will be back to try their other items! Love a local gem that is in my neighborhood serving up delicious home cooked food! read more

When I arrived here in the evening I was the only customer. The guy at the counter was polite but not very friendly. It was very bright in there and had Arabic music playing on videos on screens. I got the chicken shawarma plate. I was a bit confused because the menu screen only shows wraps but the paper menu by the register shows plates. So the plate was very generous. The chicken had good flavor but was a bit dry. The rice was very fluffy and not sticky, very good texture. The hummus was good and the garlic sauce was great, creamy without being too strong. read more

So sad that mom and pop sold their business. They made really good food and their garlic sauce was so buttery and delicious. Under new ownership was disappointing. First of all, the girl who took my order, pronounced the word "juyro", instead of gyro. The price of the shwarama bowl was $1 than what was on the menu. The shawarma meat was obviously precooked and then reheated. The shawarma bowl consisted of only a bowl full of rice and little meat. The sauces were bland. I am not going back there again. Disappointed. read more

Very friendly and great service. Place is clean and food is good. Would definitely come back again!! read more

I've eaten at this place quite a few years ago and it was delicious. I was in there with my wife the other day though and the food looked great but I have to say it was very bland. The service was also great and we noticed not many people and it was lunchtime. Please add some spice to your food. We want to see you guys be successful. We like it there! Please please please Mama, consider spicing up your dishes and your salads. Thanks again and good luck! I'm putting 5 stars hoping it will boost you up and maybe even bring some business. Please spice up your food! read more

1st time customer here at Mama's Kabab. Don't think I will continue 2 be a customer because 1 the taste of the food is ah ok. Ive had much better. Also the girl forgot to give me my 2 Taziki sauces not 2 happy about that read more

I saw some reviews mentioning the new ownership, but honestly, I think the food and service are better than ever! Everything tasted so fresh and home-cooked. You can tell there's real care put into each dish. I think the owner was there when I visited, and she was so kind, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about the food (and super cute, too!) I wasn't sure what to order at first, but the staff were incredibly helpful and made great recommendations. The portions are perfect, and at a great price point. Everything I tried was delicious, and to top it off, they even gave me complimentary baklava at the end which was amazing! If you haven't tried this place since the new ownership, give it a chance. It feels like a true family-run Mediterranean spot, full of warmth, flavor, and heart. I'll definitely be back! read more

Mama's Kabab - Chicken Shawarma Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Stanton, California

Food is really good. I've gone 7 times in the last two weeks. The cashier when I order tends to forget important details. Like extra meat or half salad and half rice. Or when you ask for a side of Tzatziki. You will most likely get your order a little different when asked. So I'm disappointed that I've had my order messed up 3 out of 7 times. It's a great spot. They just need to communicate to their chef better. read more

This was a tough score to give because the cook ended up helping us and he was absolutely amazing gave us all the time we needed for a first visit. However why the score became so low is when the young lady came out from the back wearing gloves she was touching money touching her hair then touching food. Also all the tables were dirty and the cleaning solution was left on the counter near the tea/drinks. Food quality was mediocre at best but the portions were large. Doubt we will return and being honest, watching the owner come in with things out of his SUV from what appears to be smart and final tells me they're struggling read more

I am so happy I was in this area to enjoy the food. To me it is more an experience when food is amazing & service is good & Food is served in a way it makes you smile. ok Lets start with the Taste, I am an Armenian from Turkey so I had some amazing Kebabs, The quality of meat they use is compared to high end restaurants so they get a 5 star there taste was good. Sides like Fries served hot it Humus was WOOOOW garlic spread all very good. Service from the start nice experience. Check out how they serve the good, IN Wooden serving board for what I consider a casual fast food another wow experience. Cant wait to be back sadly you are so far from where I live, read more

Mama's Kabab will forever be my favorite Mediterranean restaurant. It's a walk‑up, counter‑service spot, and the gentleman behind the counter (who I believe is the owner) is always so kind. Truly--protect this man at all costs! The food is consistently fresh because nothing is prepared until you order it. That does mean there can sometimes be a bit of a wait, but it's absolutely worth it every time. They also make their hummus fresh every morning, so I always grab an extra side to snack on throughout the day. In an era where so many eateries are large chains, I cannot stress enough how important it is to support small, family‑owned businesses like this one. Mama's Kabab is a gem, and I'll happily keep coming back over and over. read more

Man, Gotta love Mama's Kabab. The best Greek/Armenian/Middle Eastern food in Orange County as far as I am concern. Used to eat here alot a few years ago for lunch when I lived in Cypress. I worked nearby here as well. The people that work here know me well. Friendliest Armenian staff you will ever meet in the OC. Family style restaurant. Love the Kebabs and Beef Shawarma here. Always a pleasure in visiting here. read more

Husband saw this place and wanted to stop for lunch - the food here is fantastic. I had the chicken shawarma wrap and husband got the kafta beef kabab entree. Both were delicious.
